Analysis of scrapings from the anus is prescribed not only for children but also for adults who work with children or dealing with food.
There are different bacteria that cause bowel disease – Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, which causes dysentery. Not always their appearance in the gut leads to disease, the body can "contain" them on their own. In this case, people get sick, but will be a carrier and others may be able to get from him.
So it is important before enrolling a child in kindergarten or before sending to summer camp to make sure he is not a carrier, what to do with bacteriological analysis: from the anus take the swab and put it on a nutrient medium, and then monitor the growth of bacteria.
Another analysis, made in this way is scraping on enterobiasis. The term literally can be translated as life in the intestine. We are talking about the worms that settle in the digestive tract.
A swab from the anus and is used in the diagnosis of cancers of the colon, but such an analysis the doctor will prescribe only in case if there is suspicion for this disease.
Swab of the anus can take a variety of ways. This is determined by what kind of analysis needs to be done.
The capture of scraping on enterobiosis laboratory encircles a sterile cotton swab around the anus of the patient. For bacteriological analysis the wand is introduced into the rectum a few inches. In both cases, the patient should be standing, bending down, and push hands buttocks. If we are talking about a small child, push will have a parent accompanying him. If the child is afraid of analysis resists, it should be kept as tight as possible, otherwise the technician can accidentally damage the rectum with a stick.
Before taking bacteriological analysis or scraping on enterobiasis child does not need to wash away. This may partly destroy the biological material near the anus, and the result of the analysis will be distorted.
The most complicated procedure – smear cancer. The patient is positioned on his right side, while the assistant injects him pretty deep in the anus wand equipped with a special loop. Of course, parents should also ensure that the child lay motionless – to avoid damage.
